There’s a good reason James Hardie is America’s #1 siding, used on over 8 million homes and counting. It’s well worth the investment.

Here’s a closer look at the reasons James Hardie siding provides superior value, as well as how the cost of Hardie siding is determined.

Size of Project

A key factor in the cost of any siding replacement project is the amount of work being done and the amount of exterior surface that needs to be covered. A smaller home will be less of an expense than a larger home. Intricate architectural details requiring more specialized Hardie materials will also affect the price.

Location of Home

Transportation from the factory to your home impacts the cost of Hardie siding. With several manufacturing locations around the country, your home may be closer or farther away from the James Hardie factory that will ship your siding.

Fiber Cement Siding Makeup

James Hardie siding replacement is a savvy choice for homeowners, because it is made of long-lasting, durable fiber cement which performs well against the elements. Fiber cement siding is heavy duty, which means it is also weighty and requires more trained team members to do a proper installation. But it’s well worth it, because Hardie siding outshines the competition with ease.

Architectural Style

Wondering what type of siding is right to match the architecture of your home? Whether you own a Tudor, Victorian, Greek Revival, Queen Ann, Craftsman, Ranch, or Cape Cod style home, there’s a James Hardie siding choice that will fit. Vertical, horizontal, and board-and-batten styles are available, in smooth and textured finishes. The siding styles you opt for, as well as details such as HardieTrim and HardieSoffits, will factor into the overall cost of your siding.

Color Selection

One of James Hardie’s most appealing features is its customizability and durability when it comes to color. If you prefer to paint after installation, you can request pre-primed siding, and factor in the painting cost.

Or, choose the impressive baked-on color that comes with James Hardie’s proprietary ColorPlus® Technology. With ColorPlus, your siding’s shade is applied in a controlled factory setting with a specialized technique that yields a 15-year warranty on lasting color. Select either locally stocked colors popular in your area, or choose from over 700 specialized shades to create a truly customized, personalized home design.

Industry-Leading Warranty

With a 30-year, non-prorated, transferable warranty, the cost of James Hardie replacement siding is balanced by the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ve chosen a top-performing siding designed to last for decades.
